5/12/15 Case Study Response (50 word min)
Hands off, Please
Ava loves her new job. Recently, her supervisor, Keith, has been making her feel very uncomfortable. In spite of her objections, Keith finds ways to get physically close to her, brushing lightly agains her or playfully cornering her in a room. On one occasion, while Ava was dispensing mail in the mailroom, Keith quietly entered the room and snapped her bra strap. Ava was so shocked she didn't respond.
She really needs this job and doesn't want to anger her supervisor. She often laughs off his advances and tells him her boyfriend would not like this. She doesn't have a boyfriend but is hoping Keith might take the hint. She is starting to feel anxiety about going to work and worries about getting trapped along with Keith. She is also hesitant to confront Keith's supervisor for fear of this response. What should Ava do?

5/6/15 Wednesday Case Study (50 word min)
CJ is a data analyst for a major casino and has to work after normal business hours to finish an important project. He realizes he is missing data that was sent to his coworker Dane. Recently, CJ noticed Dane typing his password and learned what it is. He decides to log into Dane's computer and resend the data to himself.
Upon doing so, CJ sees an open e-mail to a local sports book regarding gambling bets Dane placed over the last several days. CJ knows all casino employees are forbidden to engage in gambling activities to avoid any hint of conflict of interest. He knows he should report this but would have to admit to violating the company's information technology regulations by logging into Dane's computer. If he warns Dane to stop his betting, he would also have to reveal the source of his information. Dane would know he used his password. What does CJ do in this situation?

The Right to Know
June is a 23 year old newspaper reporter who reports on crime in Atlanta. On her way to work one day, she recognized several police officers hanging around her neighborhood. She had interviewed some of them before and figured that, because they weren't in uniform, they must be on an undercover operation. She called Karen, her source in the police department, who told her that a serial rapist had been striking in that neighborhood and there had already been five victims. Karen also told her that if she reported on the sting, the rapist could be tipped off and skip town. He might go to another city and attack more women.
June knows that if she reported the sting, no cop in the city would ever speak to her again. But she also knows that women in her community are in imminent danger and feels that someone has to warn them. What should June do?

4/23/15 Thursday Case Study 4/23/15
Kendra is the sales department manager and her boss is concerned about the appearance of some of their sales clerks, particularly Hunter. On his right arm, Hunter is sporting a large new tattoo of a vampire with blood dripping form its mouth. Kendra agrees some customers might find the tattoo offensive and that he should cover it up.
When Kendra talks to Hunter about it, he becomes defensive and claims customers think his new tattoo is cool. He says he belongs to a vampire organization and this is a big part of his life now. He tells her he's also considering having his teeth filed into points. He says she is being discriminatory because another employee has a tattoo of a cross on his arm and he has not been asked to cover it. Kendra likes Hunter because he is a good employee and one of their top salespeople. She knew he was into vampire movies and books, but she had no idea about how important this was in his life. The tattoo is also violent which borders on being problematic in terms of company expectation guidelines for salespeople. What should Kendra do?
